The First Amendment of the US Constitution recognizes that the government cannot establish a religion as the official religion of the land, nor can it prohibit us from following the religion of our choice freely. It cannot abridge our freedom of speech, either in our positions as common people or if we are are exercising it as part of the press. And we have the right to peaceably assemble and petition the government for grievances. These are the bedrock freedoms that our nation is built upon, and the government is not allowed to break them. Never forget this.
